Miriam Zedelius was born in Heidelberg in 1977 and lives in Leipzig with her family. She also studied there at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst. Today, she’s a freelance illustrator, designing postcards, posters and picture books in her own small silk-screen printing workshop with great success. Her two children enjoy being their mum’s test audience – she has already published two picture books with their seal of approval, both of them written by Lorenz Pauli.
